This film is going to make some heads roll, when I tell people what it's about I get mixed responses. Alot say it's necessary, some seem afraid, and from the hate email I received when I put an ad out for a producer up in Atlanta, some will burn torches and witch hunt. But it all excites me. I'm ready to put content out there to the world that reflects not only my view point, but addresses an important subject matter and will envoke meaningful dialogue amongst it's viewers. I chose this as my first feature film instead of one of my cheesey horror scripts, or writing a corny action flick because I see a need for it. It effects my community and is a very taboo subject. Creatively it will help establish my voice, which is most important (actually whats most important is making money from it so I can keep going!)
I have my producer, Dany up in Decatur waiting on me to come next weekend so we can secure the main location. It gives me goosebumps just thinking about it, I'm literally going in head first! In the meantime much of my focus is on film funding, because the script is solid and ready to go. If anyone knows of any good film funding sites send them my way!
